SPECIFICATION forming part of iietters Patent 1V0. 438,113, dated October '7, 1890. Application filed November 14, 1889- Serial No. 330|322- (No model.)

T0 60% whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, IRA F. PECK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Lacing- 'Studs, of which the following is a specification.

Heretofore lacing-studs provided with an attaching hollow shank have been made either from sheet metal or from a solid rod of suitable size, which rod was turned down and drilled to form the required hollow shank. The lacing-studs, when formed of sheet metal, are comparatively weak and do not present the required regular outline and solid appearance desired fcnmany uses; and the operation for making the lacing-studs from a solid rod, though performed by means of automatic machinery, is a comparatively slow and expensive one; and it is the object of my invention to provide a solid lacing-stud, which can be manufactured in a more rapid and economical manner than heretofore.

My invention consists in the improved construction of a solid-wire lacing-stud, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure 1 represents a side view of my improved lacing-stud. Fig. 2 represents a front view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents a lacing stud made of one piece of solid wire and having a seamless cup-formed hollow shank a, which is provided at its base with an annular fold b. The stud is also provided with the solid-wire post d, which is cocentric with the axis of the hollow shank a and the solid head e. The annular fold b is made of two thicknesses c c from the wall of the seamless hollow shank by upsetting the said wall in the process of manufacture, and such lacing-studs can be very rapidly and economically manufactured from solid wire by means of the method described in my Letters Patent of the United States, No. 303,7 7 5, the hook-studs so made being of improved quality, and in their manufacture the comparatively slow and expensive process of drilling out the hollow of the attaching-shank will be avoided.

I claim as my invention- A lacing-stud made in one piece from solid wire and having the solid head a, the eccentric solid post d, and the seamless hollow shank a, provided with an annular fold b, formed in the wall of the shank, substantially as described.
